(LAMBTON, ON) – On Monday March 14th, 2016, a member of the Lambton County Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) was conducting mobile radar patrol in the area of Lakeshore Road and O’Brien Road, Plympton-Wyoming Township.
At approximately 2:34 p.m., police observed a westbound motor vehicle approaching at a high rate of speed. The officer activated the radar to which the motor vehicle registered at a speed of 145 kilometres per hour in a posted 80 kilometer per hour zone. The officer conducted a traffic stop and made contact with the driver of the motor vehicle.
As a result, Lambton OPP has charged 19 year-old Ronny PETRANY of Sarnia, for
